Chapter 383 Hunter

The Tuoba family launched an attack at night.

This is very smart.

Chen Bing believed that this was Tuoba's previous tentative attack that the range of Qin Qiang Crossbows was much further than their bows and arrows.

In fact, it is not just a powerful crossbow, but also a longer range of bows and arrows.

The bows and arrows used by Tuoba and Qianli are similar to those used by Qianli, and are made of hardwood.

Such bows have disadvantages such as insufficient range, weak penetration, poor accuracy, easy to damage, and difficult to carry, and the same is true even if the tension is the same.

Among them, it is not easy to carry because this hardwood bow needs to have stronger tension and toughness.

The bows in the Central Plains are much more sophisticated. They are selected from Tuomu or Elm, and they are also made of bamboo... The bows with bamboo are used for new recruits who are unable to draw bows. Anyway, they cannot kill the enemy, so they simply use bad bows to practice their hands.

Moreover, the bows in the Central Plains are not just woody.

Beef tendon should be laid layer by layer behind the bow to increase its toughness, and finally wrap it with hemp rope.

It is said that a good bow is made of purple-shirt wood with strong toughness. The entire process takes two to three years from beginning to end.

The mass-produced bows used by the army are not so sophisticated, and the production process is only a few months.

But this is also much better than the hardwood bow used by the "Savages".

What surprised Chen Bing was the arm strength of these "savages".

At the beginning, Chen Bing used a bamboo bow for the Shangli family... because Chen Bing thought they shouldn't have much strength, so it would be almost done with this hundred and twenty Qinjin bow.

But unexpectedly, the "warriors" of the Qianli clan were all very relaxed to shoot.

Chen Bing replaced them with two hundred Qinjin, and he could still drive them.

In the end, about 100 people could not drive the strong bow with Qin Jin in the end.

This scared Chen Bing.

You should know that these two hundred and fifty Qin Jin’s strong bows are the standard of the Huns and the target of the Shenwu Army.

After more than two months of strength training, half of the people in the Shenwu Army could finally draw such strong bows, while two-thirds of the people in the Qianli family could drive them without training...

Of course, the Shangli clan still took some advantage. They were drawing bows on the ground while the Huns and the Shenwu Army were on the back of the bow.

However, this is not easy for the "savages" who are undernourished.

Chen Bing thought about it, but then he felt that this seemed normal.

The Dangxiang people like the Changli family are actually nomadic peoples. The difference between them and the Huns is that they are nomadic in the mountains in the Great Wall.

The characteristic of nomadic people is to play with bows and arrows since childhood... This is determined by hunting. The speed of animals is usually faster than that of humans and has a high alertness. Hunting with bows and arrows is obviously a greater success rate.

Therefore, this can be said to be their specialty and talent, and it cannot be caught up with the Shenwu Army after training for a few months.

Chen Bing was a little lucky, but fortunately, the bow and arrow in Tuoba's hand were also rough and primitive hardwood bows, otherwise it would not be so easy to deal with.

In fact, the Tuoba family is not so easy to deal with, and the sinking soldiers underestimated the enemy.

For example, when he chose to attack at night, his purpose was to weaken the advantages of Qin crossbow's long range and high accuracy as much as possible.

Just like what I see now, Tuoba family rushed towards the Qin army camp like a tide in the dark night, howling while advancing, and occasionally shooting a few arrows...

Soon, Shen Bing discovered that not only arrows were shot, but also wooden spears.

That may not be called a wooden spear, because if it is used for throwing, it should be called a "javelin".

In other words, Chen Bing had been misunderstanding before, and the "wooden spear" in the hands of Xiang Li and others was actually a javelin.

This may also be due to the combat method generated by hunting demand...

Bows and arrows are long-range light weapons, while javelins are close-range heavy weapons. If necessary, javelins can also be used as spears.

Sure enough, just like what Chen Bing thought.

At the command of Xiang Liqing, the "warriors" holding spears trot forward, and then accelerated and threw them hard, and the spears in their hands flew out in rows...

They actually used the spear as a javelin, and it really worked. A team of Tuoba cavalry was immediately shot by the javelin and overturned.

"Let them come back!" Chen Bing shouted to Xiang Li Qing: "Listen to my orders!"

He responded to Liqing and called the "Warrior" back.

Chen Bing shook his head secretly. These "savages" probably don't have the concept of collective combat at all, or are they too nervous to think that this battle will lose?

Chen Bing ignored these things and ordered behind him: "Pineapple fire bomb!"

The messenger shouted and passed it down:

"Puan open flame bomb!"

"Puan open flame bomb!"

...

With just a "surge" sound, the pine open flame bomb was shot out by the catapult, and it was thrown one after another from all directions.

But in a moment, the surrounding environment was illuminated... Although the fire was not as good as the flare, it could at least see the general situation of the enemy.

What the Qin army needed was also the general situation.

To be precise, the Qin army can analyze more useful things based on this general situation, such as judging the enemy's distance by the landing point of the fireball.

Then Shen Bing gave an order: "Let it go!"

The dense crossbow arrows rushed straight into the enemy group and shot them to the ground in waves.

Tuoba was not scared by the rain of arrows. They still howled and rushed towards the Qin army. They fell in front and followed the body of the comrades who crossed their comrades. The shields in their hands were even wooden boards, and their weapons were short and thick wooden sticks and even stone axes...

As they got closer, the Tuoba clan obviously wanted to fight the Qin army in close combat.

This tactic is obviously correct.

Because they were behind in their equipment, they could only use their numbers to get better at melee combat, otherwise they would be able to continue to be shot and killed by the Qin army's powerful crossbows and bows in the distance.

And this tactic can theoretically succeed.

On the one hand, it is the cover of the night, and on the other hand, it takes time to launch crossbow arrows, so the speed is always not as fast as its charge... Modern bolt-pull-type rifles cannot stop group-type charges, let alone ancient crossbows.

So the Tuoba family got closer and closer...

Shen Bing waved his hand and the messenger ordered:

"Pijiu Fireball!"

"Pijiu Fireball!"

...

Rows of "Pi Li Fireballs" were thrown out, and the leads were burning "roughly" in the open space between the enemy and us.

The Qin army had already put away the crossbow and drew out the bronze sword to prepare for the enemy.

The Tuoba clan did not know that he was in danger and was still rushing towards the Qin army with his weapons high. Their eyes were filled with fierce excitement, their faces showed a hideous smile, and their mouths were harsh laughing... like a predatory beast looking at their prey.

This power even scared Xiang Liqing and his party. They couldn't help but take a step back and gathered together to make a defensive posture.

However, what Tuoba didn't know was that they were actually prey.
